Out-of-this-world fashion with function: clothing or accessories for earth or space wear!
Every space traveler – even the robotic ones – should feel? their very best during the journey, infused with the very best data and technology available. Earthlings can follow suit. Design a space data-tech-fashion wearable in the form of clothing or accessories that will collect or distribute data and technology in the following categories:
Design for Interconnectivity (staying more connected to team, community, and tools)
- enhance the work/life experience of humans and/or capabilities of robots
Design for Health (biometrics, physical and emotional health, and/or environmental alerts)
- maintain or improve the health and well-being of the human
- provide early warning for unhealthy environmental factors (air quality, radiation, outgassing, temperature)
Design for Entertainment (sights, sounds, music, activity)
- enhance the human experience whether during work or play
Going through various International Space Station Missions and the recent mission of Scott Kelly, we came to realize there were some vital problems faced by Astronauts and that needed to be looked upon.The first problem that we came upon was the problem of noting things down in Zero Gravity.Next was the problem of Navigating within the International Space Station and the last one was the problem of reading out printed texts and digitizing the written contents. Analyzing all of these problems, the best and convenient solution that poped in our mind was "A wearable Smart Glove".
This Smart Glove can be used to easily feed texts, characters, integers into the digital storage devices, just with the help of finger gestures. Infrared Censors integrated in this gloves recognizes every gestures made by the fingers of the bearers and resulting out texts in Digital Storage Devices.
For the purpose of easy reading and digitizing text we have used a Night Vision Camera and Optical Character Recognition Algorithm that digitizes the text and reads our every text that comes under the sight of the camera. These digitized texts can be extracted or used whenever required.
To assist in navigation within the International Space Station we have used digital navigation techniques to provided Astronauts with immediate feedback and notification regarding their current location and their desired location.
Apart from these vital features, to analyze heart beat and body temperature fluctuation of astronauts in Space during various activities, we too have integrated digital system to monitor fluctuation of Astronauts`s Heart beat and Body temperature at any instance of time.
